Description

Joelle chats with Lynn Zakeri, LCSW. And this time, the therapist gets a little personal. Lynn talks about how women can redefine themselves as they make the transition through menopause—using proactive health care, language, empowerment, and embracing vulnerability while moving away from a victimhood mindset.

Key Takeaways:

• Proactive self-care, self-compassion, and proper medical treatment can help manage menopause challenges like brain fog, mood swings, and anxiety.
• Women should empower themselves, focus on their strengths, and not let others define them, especially in the workplace. Multitasking and juggling responsibilities during midlife can be overwhelming, so categorizing priorities and letting go of guilt is important.
• Seeking expert guidance, exploring treatment options like hormone therapy, and having a support system can help in navigating the menopause journey.
• Moving from victimhood to self-understanding, through reframing and a profound language shift, can help women connect through shared vulnerability and find beauty in opening up.

“You being empowered to define yourself is what can carry you.” - Lynn Zakeri
